This picture repre­sents the celebrated ar­

chitect, Sir Christopher Wren. He was born in the year 1632, and grew up to be a very clever man. He built the Monument, and also a great many churches, in London; but his principal work of art, was St, Paul’s Ca­thedral, where he was buried.

Henry’s papa gave him six­pence, as a birth-day present, so he got leave to buy a slate, that he might learn to draw, and off he ran to the toy-shop, and pur­chased one. Henry took great pains to learn, and his papa not only taught him to draw, but to write, and also to do small sums on his new slate.

John and Fred were rambling through the corn fields. They came to a stile, and John jumped over first; but Fred was not quite so nimble, and he tried to climb over. Stiles are put up to pre­vent cattle from getting amongthe corn and eating it.

Mamma is taking a walk, and John and his sister, are with her, and so are two of their cousins, who are invited to spend a few days with them. It is a fine day, and the flowers are in full bloom, and the trees and hedges are covered with green leaves, for it is bright summer weather.

George has taken his sister Ellen into the Park, to see the ducks, which are swimming on the ornamental water, under the, drooping willow tree. They are scrambling to catch the pieces of bread which George has thrown in the water for them. I hope the children will not go too near, for fear they should fall in.

Hunting is a favourite sport with some gentlemen who live in the country. They generally go to the hunt, dressed in red coats. It is a very dangerous sport, for their horses have to jump over every thing that comes in their way, whether a hedge, or a fence, or a pond; and, if they happen to fall, the rider is thrown off, and perhaps much hurt.

Mr. West has called to see Miss Clara Day; indeed, he has fallen in love with her, and he

is asking her to become his wife, I am sure he will make her a good husband, for he is a very steady, sober, honest, and indus­trious young man, and pays great attention to his business.

This is a ship in full sail It is going in search of Sir John

Franklin and his crew, in theNorth seas, where it is so verycold, that the sea becomes frozen,and the sailors are obliged to cuta passage through the ice, forthe ship to sail through; butsometimes they become so sur­rounded with ice, that they are compelled to wait many months.

One day, when Jane and Ellen were left at home, to take care of

the house, while their mamma went for a walk, it came on to rain, and then to thunder, when they were simple enough to be terrified at it. It was a dreadful storm indeed, but it did not last very long.

The happy day at length ar­rived, when Clara was married to Mr. West. They are now leaving the church, surrounded by their parents and friends; and the little girls, dressed in white, are strewing all sorts of pretty flowers for the bride and bride­groom to walk over.
